• Quebec Federation of Labour (QFL)
• Canadian Federation of Musicians (CFM)
• Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE)
• National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE)
• Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC)
• United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW)

Additional activities are reported in relation to a number of CLC concerns:

Decent Work: a term adopted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and embraced by Global Unions, employers and governments to unify and strengthen the respect of four strategic objectives:
1) Creating jobs;
2) Guaranteeing rights at work;
3) Extending social protection; and
4) Promoting social dialogue.

The ITUC now coordinates trade union actions throughout the world to highlight Decent Work and these can be examined along with those by Canadian trade unions at http://2014.wddw.org/
